A micro tube box is a specialized storage container designed for securely holding and organizing microcentrifuge tubes used in laboratory settings. These boxes are essential for storing, transporting, and processing small liquid samples with precision and efficiency. They typically feature a grid layout with individual slots for each tube, ensuring easy identification, access, and stability. Made from durable materials, micro tube boxes are built to withstand various laboratory conditions.

The main types of micro tube boxes categorize them by their capacity, up to 50 tubes, 51 to 100 tubes, 100 to 150 tubes, and above 150 tubes. These boxes are integral within the laboratory and scientific research supply industry, catering to the storage needs of microcentrifuge tubes. They are constructed from various materials such as plastic, polyethylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene, paperboard, and others. Micro tube boxes serve diverse end-use industries including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research institutes, and diagnostic centers, supporting the safe handling and organization of samples.
